Okay I’m Currently Furious That Migraines Are Often So Blindly Easy To Treat And I Had To Find This

“tumblr ceo sucks too” oh mood my bad I honestly forget we even have a ceo I kind of just view this website as a self governed purgatory that runs on sulfur and spite alone

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

being fluent in two languages is so weird when you think too hard about it.... like just switching between the two of them while talking to someone who also speaks both and we're carrying on a normal conversation like my friend just asked me "t'sais où jpeux finder the movie we talked about yesterday?" bro what are you even saying but also I fully understand what you're saying

So, tattoo shop AUs are really popping off lately and personally I love it. What’s more romantic than bleeding for art? Nothing!

But as someone married to a tattoo artist, I have been experiencing some mild She Wouldn’t Say That regarding tattoo culture. So here’s a few quick tips that may help inform your AU. With a grain of salt for my mostly-second-hand knowledge:

NO ONE REPUTABLE SHOP WILL TATTOO A DRUNK PERSON. EVER. or even a person they suspect of any kind of inebriation. This is not just for Regret reasons, but also because alcohol is a blood thinner. If someone is on an acute dose of blood thinners, you generally do not want to stab them dozens of times per second.

Maybe this is regional, but in my experience most tattoo places don’t call themselves parlors anymore. It has a kind of seedy vibe. I see shop or studio a lot but rarely parlor.

Most tattoo artists are hot, yes, but none are as hot at my wife

Tattooing janks up your hands. Sometimes in a RSI way but definitely in a changing-gloves-every-five-minutes-fucks-up-your-skin way.

Artists themselves are rarely if ever employees of the shop. They will be independent contractors who pay the shop either a cut of their sales or rent on their station like a hair dresser. They are also (usually) responsible for taking care of their own supplies, tools, etc. except for the stencil printer. What kind of dweeb would have their own stencil printer?

There is always a line for the stencil printer. Always.

Artists generally spend orders of magnitude more time working on art, replying to emails, doing consults, etc compared to time with their needles in skin.

A typical schedule for an artist might be: wake up at noon and guzzle half her body weight in coffee, one appointment from 1-4, and another from 6-9. Home to eat one (1) real meal at 10 pm. Drawing until 5 am. This is good for her actually and good for our marriage and she’s so healthy all the time.

An ideal shop receptionist needs to be friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging. They also need to be willing to get out the baseball bat that is kept behind the counter.

If a shop has to choose between “good people skills” and “will promptly rebuff Nazis and the obviously inebriated” the later is often a more important consideration.

At any given moment in any given shop there’s going to be at least one apprentice or someone bumming around hoping to be taken on as an apprentice. They spawn on tic and this feature cannot be disabled.

Again I can not overstate how hot my wife is

Eddie: *trying to make nice as Steve gets ready to go out with Robin* Hi baby. Damn Stevie. You clean up nice! Look good enough to eat! Steve: *who is mad at Eddie over something he did earlier in the evening and is petty and hellbent on not smiling at anything Eddie says tonight* Woooow. As someone who has been partially eaten alive, that just isn't a compliment. Eddie: Don't be like that! Also, I literally have been more eaten alive than you!

Eddie fakes an asthma attack so he can hang out in the nurse’s office only to find Concussion 3000 already laying on the comfy cot and - “Wait, don’t - don’t leave me with him.”

Eddie looks at the retreating back of the school nurse and then back at Steve who had his arm thrown over his eyes. He holds his hands out like Steve might make a sudden movement and says, “Don’t die.”

“I will out of spite if you don’t shut up.”

“Then die, I don’t care.”

Those were the last words out of Eddie’s mouth before they both learn that enough head injuries can cause seizures.

Splash

The doctors had recommended exercising in water, and now Steve was there, swimming around in his pool, supervising Eddie. He didn’t want to leave him alone in the water, his heart heavy with the reminder of Barb’s demise.

It turned out the real menace was not the Upside-Down, but rather Eddie himself, who immediately decided to splash him.

Steve jumped back to escape, before retaliating, making the boy splutter and shake his head like a drenched dog.

Steve wasn’t sure it was what the doctors had in mind, but he hadn’t enjoyed playing in his pool like that in years.

Corroded Coffin Fest Pop-Up: Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Red Right Hand. Orange Crush. Mellow Yellow. Green Light. Blue Ain't Your Color. The Indigo Streak. Violet Chemistry.

ROY G. BIV

The theme for this event is: Somewhere Over the Rainbow:

So, for this challenge, pick any song that features a color of the rainbow either in the title or lyrics and make something that is inspired by that song. Here's a playlist to help get you started.

Now, I'm not gonna get all up in your color wheel. You want to use Purple Pills instead of Violet Hill? Want to go with Taylor Swift's Maroon instead of her Red? Go for it!

This event runs between June 8th-14th, 2025.

You can interpret the prompt any way you'd like, as long as you've focused on one or more members of Corroded Coffin and a song that features a color of the rainbow.

GUIDELINES:

Please tag us here at @corrodedcoffinfest when you post your entries so we can reblog them!

The word count guidelines for this challenge are for fics between 500-2500 words. Your entries must be posted on the correct color day of the event. (And let us know what song you used!)

You'll get a comment from this blog with a "🌈" when it's been checked and added to the queue.

Submissions can be connected to other prompts from the pop-up, but they should still be able to stand alone.

Feel free to use the ao3 collection after you've been reblogged here!

All submissions should include any pairings featured, a rating and any content warnings (CW) or tags that you think are appropriate. All explicit material needs be under a cut. Headers make my life easier, and a sample of one could look something like this:

Prompt: Blue | Song: Blue Bayou | Word Count: 1250 | Rating: T | POV: Eddie | Relationships: None | CW: None | Tags: Corroded Coffin, On Tour, Thinking of the Past

For the artists! Art is definitely welcome! Any entries for the prompts must be focused on at least one Corroded Coffin pairing, a fit the prompt and guidelines.

Please submit your entries between 12:00 AM EST and 11:59 PM EST on the day of the prompt in order to not be missed for reblogging.

Taste the rainbow. 🌈
